about

ghosts appear occasionally was performed and recorded in February 2021 at The Grey Space In The Middle, Den Haag

The lights are purple, red and blue. The basement covered in dust and fog. An eerie layered narrative shapes time as we are descending, spiralling, downstairs, downwards. Cacophonies of singing, screaming, scratching, tapping, plucking, now and then harmoniously, often the opposite, playing with density, filling the air, always in dialogue with each other. Memories and ghosts gradually inhabit the space as we are silent or sounding and time passes by. We hold on to each other, trying to make sense out of the darkness, using listening as a body of understanding. When we can’t fall any further down, we hit the hard ground together as one, like it should be, egoless, leaving the basement in charged stillness, full of our thoughts, emotions, imaginations and reflections lingering.

Hilde Wollenstein composed a score for eight performers, tailored to their own practices, creating a safe space to explore a particular individual sense of sound within a clear, collective structure. The disembodied voice of Ghaith Qoutainy, reciting a poem written by Luca van Grinsven, weaving itself as a red thread through the performance, forming a polyphony with the music, guiding the listener through an ever-changing, electroacoustic dreamscape.
